1. Jeter's up the line, cutoff, shovel pass to nail
Giambi at home to save a 1-0 victory and keep the Yankee season alive in
Game 3 of the ALDS vs. Oakland ( a game I attended! ).

2. The Yankees storm back after down 2-0 in the series
to eliminate the A's behind Clemens and Rivera.
No team had ever come back to win a 5 game series after losing the first
two at home.

3. Alfonso Soriano's walkoff homer in Game 4 of the
ALCS against Seattle.

4. Game 5 of the ALCS. The Yanks clinch their fourth
straight AL pennant. Their 38th overall. The customary champagne shower
is curbed out of respect for the tragic events of September 11th.

5. Game 3 of the World Series. Amid the tightest security
ever at a baseball game, after anthrax scares and the threat of more terrorist
attacks, the commander in chief (George W. Bush)
walked solo out to the pitching mound, dug in, and threw a perfect change-up
for a strike.

6. Watching the tattered, frayed, missing several stars,
American flag; the WTC flag, recovered at Ground Zero fly proudly out in
centerfield, as for the first time ever, F-14's flew over Yankee stadium.

7. Game 4's comeback. Trailing 3-1 and down to their
last out Tino Martinez ties it with a home run.
Then as the clock and calendar move into November, Derek
Jeter (Mr. November) wins it with his home run.

8. Game 5's comeback. Trailing 2-0 and down to their
last out Brosius ties it with a home run. Soriano
then singles Knoblauch in the 12th to complete the greatest back to back
comebacks in world series history.
